On the other side of it, revenue on merch must go through the roof. Especially with the stars, and the guys that are stars in other countries, but high end journeymen here.

Is it actually a higher number of injuries than usual? 7 out of 140 or so NHLers, over ~6 games.

Loving the olympics, but I’m excited for the lead up to the deadline and how much more Conroy can get as far as futures/draft capital.
Watching this elite talent you’re reminded how little of it the Flames have. It’s fun to dream on some young game changers coming in the next couple drafts.

The NHL has seen significantly more injuries than usual all season, and I've seen sources blaming it on the compressed schedule. On top of that, the players getting injured at the Olympics are the cream of the crop.

Is there data linking that to the revised schedule? Would make sense if there is a link.

I definitely don't think it's a reach to believe the compressed Olympic schedule has had a pretty significant impact on the injury till league wide this year.

I doubt we'll see anything happen immediately after the freeze ends tonight, but I wonder if a bunch of deals might get done tomorrow, with the season resuming on Wednesday.

Pahal for a sixth! We'll take anything to move our minds off the gold medal game.

My guess is Coleman will start the dominoes for our trades.

this is the thing about Dreger's rumors. we have no idea what he thinks a good offer is. he said this about the LA offer for Ras last summer and didn't it turn out to be a goalie prospect.
